Answers: 1. I think that the paparazzi are photographers that are reporting about Jason's life because things could go wrong. 2. This tells us that Pipers father is famous and that he has dealt with paparazzi and maybe he did not spend time with her. 3.

Pipers mom is a god and she is Aphrodite and Zeus declared a rule that god dads or goddes moms may not visit there kids only watch over them. 5. This meant that everyone has dealt with pain and suffering this relates to the story because they could also suffer later in the book because of gods or storm spirits. Redo this answer.

Tuesday, February 8th Read Chapters XI Leo and XII Leo Answer the following questions using part of each question in your answer Answer in complete sentences. Copy the questions from this page onto your own page. Due Thursday, February 10th 1. Who is Tia Callida - refer back to page 68 for part of your answer? 2. Tell me four strange things that Tia Callida did and how that relates to the story. 3. When Tia Callida told Leo, "Remember this night, little hero, when they ask you to oppose me," what do you think this means? 4. Tell me what is going on at the end of this chapter.
XII Leo 5. How did Leo catch the dragon? 6. What is a dryad? What did she do? 7. What did Leo have to do to the dragon? 8. Why did Leo name the dragon, "Festus?" 9. In the cave where the dragon lives, it said, "Bunker 9." Why is this important to the story? 10. How was this cave similar to the dream Leo had? 11. What work do you think Leo and Festus have to do?
Answers: 1. Tia-Callida was Leo's babysitter when he was a kid, Tia-Callida is also Hera and we know that because of the things she said and did to Leo when she was babysitting him. 2. Tia-Callida technically killed Leo's and the way she did that was she locked Leo up in the break room and Leo's mom was in her part of the shop, Leo's hands caught fire without him knowing and the warehouse burned down but he did not die since he has a special power. This relates to the book because that’s when Leo lost everything he had and when he found out his powers were this powerful. Another thing that Tia-Callida did was that she kept on saying things related to a god or some kind of a war like "you must learn your blades early, if you are to be my hero someday". The third thing Tia-Callida did was having Leo play with knives (first quote from the 2nd strange thing) and have sleep in the fireplace while it was lit. 3. I think this means that she wants him to remember what kind of power she has because of how she killed his mom, she wants him to remember this because she does not want to be defeated or have her kids killed, 4. At the end of this chapter Leo volunteered to go with Jason on the quest but only if he could transportation to get to where they needed to go so, Leo had and idea he thought he could catch the dragon and fly on the dragon with Jason and the last member of the quest to get to where they need to go. Leo thought he could use the dragon because he thought that the dragon had wings. 5. Leo caught the dragon by using the trap that was set up for the dragon, after the dragon was in the trap Leo climbed onto the dragon’s neck and cleaned the dirty disk drive and dirty wires that were affecting how the dragon acts. After he cleaned the dirty disk and wires he put them back inside the dragon and the dragon was back to normal again and not vicious. 6. A dryad is a spirit of the woods or a tree spirit. The dryad in the story made a gesture that Leo thought meant something bad in Dryad and then she disappeared with a poof of green mist. 7. Leo had to clean the dragon's wiring system and disk drive because it was crazy and affected the way it acted. 8. Leo named the dragon Festus because the dragon was showing off. 9. Bunker 9 is important to the story because of multiple reasons. Reason 1=that it could be related to Cabin 9 where Leo is staying because of the name. Reason 2=Leo found a blueprint that looked a lot like Leo's boat drawing that he drew when he was a kid and it had the dragons head in the front of the boat in the blueprint. Reason 3= Leo thought that the dragon must have been built there because of how fast the dragon wanted to go there and because of the big circular hole that the dragon laid onto. 10. It was similar because of the blueprint that was in the bunker that was very similar to the one that Leo drew when he was a little kid and when he dreamed it was in there to. 11. Some work that I think Leo and Festus have to do is Leo has to attach wings to Festus so that Festus can fly and take Leo, Jason and the last member of the quest to its definition, I think this because throughout the chapter Leo has been saying that he needs to attach wings to Festus and at the end of the chapter he said "Festus, we've got work to do" so I’m thinking he saw wings that were supposed to go onto Festus. Good job on your answers Gabe!
Thursday, February 10th Read Chapters XIII Jason and XIV Jason Answer the following questions using part of each question in your answer Answer in complete sentences Copy the questions from this page onto your own page. Due Monday, February 14th 1. Describe she-wolf. 2. What does the word "Lupa" mean? 3. What was the connection between Jason and Lupa? 4. On page 159 it states, "The other wolves circled the pool, their fur standing up on their backs as they snarled at the spires." What does it mean when the hair stands on the back of your head? What are spires? 5. What does the last paragraph of this chapter mean? Why is this an important part of this book?
XIV Jason 6. Look for the symbols on page 161 and tell me what they symbolize. I.E. golden eagle, statues, Greek robes... 7. Why did Jason feel that if he could find the ruins, he could find his past? 8. Why did Jason say, "Thanks Pops," to the Zeus statue?
Answers: 1. She-wolf is the greatest wolf of her kind she is taller then Jason and has silver eyes, she-wolf is helping Jason figure out the prophecy but Jason needs to save her to, she-wolf is a female wolf. 2. Lupa means the mother wolf, she is named this because she is the greatest one of her kind. 3. The connection between Jason and Lupa is that she found him, nurtured him, protected him and chosen him when he was little. 4. When the hair stands up on the back of your head it means that you are scared, nervous or adrenaline when something is happening. A spire is tall and it has a pointed part at the end of something. 5. The last paragraph means that he is the only one who can save them and he always was the only one. It also means that Jason is the son of Zeus (Jupiter). This is important to the book because we thought that Zeus had no kids but now we know we do and its Jason, its also important because this means that Jason has had a past before like this (saving and being around the wolves). 6. I think the golden eagle symbolizes Jasons tatto on his arm that probably symbolizes Zeus. The Zeus statue represents how mean and pwerful Zeus was so that everyone respected and was afraid of him. The greek robe represnts that Zeus is greek and not Roman like Jupiter. 7. He thought that because he thought that he had been there before so he thought he could find his past if he knew he was there. 8. Jason said 'Thanks Pops" to the Zeus statue because he recently found out from the she-wolf that Zeus is his father.

What do you think the phrase, "The forge and dove shall break the cage," means?
Answers: 1. The "King of Sparta" is a character in a movie and that character is Pipers dad. 2. Lacy is a girl who lives in Cabin 10 who is freaked out by Drew. 3. Charmspeak means that Drew and Piper can convince people to let them do things or give them things. 4. Drew got to be head councelor(spelling) because the old councelor sacrificed herself to benefit the camp, and I think Drew is happy about being head councelor. 5. Drew thought taht (spelling) she was a bad person because she thought that she was stupid not doing what she thought Aphrodite ment and the other campers thought that she was a hero because she sacrificed herself for them/the campers. 6. The right of passage is to get someone to fall in love with you and then brake their heart> 7. The poster was in the garbage because Drew was so annoyed at Piper and so mean that she threw away the poster of Pipers dad. 8. A tryant(spelling) is "a sovereign or other ruler who uses power oppressively or unjustly" ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tyrant) 9. The word festus in latin(spelling) means happy. 10. I think this means that she remembered when Percy Jackson was around because of the quest and she got sad but also kinda happy because she remembered the times she had with him. 11. I think the mist is a symbol of security because in the chapter it says that Jason thinks that the mist will make the mortals think that dragon is a small plane and throughout the story it mentions that the mist will make mortals not see mythiological(spelling) creatures.Is this word "mist" constantly changing as far as what it means or is there some kind of connection between all the times it is mentioned? It is changing every time it is being mentioned so far. 12. Boreas is a guy that Jason, Piper and Leo needed to find to get some information and his name means he is the personification of the north wind. 13. I think this means that because Hera doesnt like demigods that if the team unleashes her she will kill everyone. Hera is upset that she was caught and trapped. Hera is trapped in Chicago by storm spirits. 14. Leo disclose about his mom and how he died to the team. 15. I think that means only special magic will brake the cage that Hera is in.

Zethes looks like he is in a 1980's rock band, Zethes is very disciplined but does not like to destroy people as much as Calias. 2. The emergenct they used was that there dragon was malfunctioning and that it could crash any minute. 3. Cal and Zethes found Leo suspicious because he smelled like fire and at first they thought it was the dragon but when the dragon turned into a suitcase they realized that it was Leo and they knew there couldnt be fire in this house. 4. The original Golden Fleece guy is was Cals and Zetheses crewmate while they were on board the ship Argo, while Cal and Zethes were mortal demigods. 5. The girl stated that because Boreas was waiting to see Jason, the Golden Fleece guy. Boreas did not know that it was this Jason. 6.

Friday, February 18th Read PiperXXI (p. 229), Piper XXII (p. 237) and Leo XXIII (249) Answer each question using part of each question in your answer. Due Tuesday, February 22nd 1. How did Piper figure out that the coach had been preparing her to be a demigod? 2. Why didn't Piper's father ever play Native American parts? 3. Tell about Piper's dream? Do you think her dream is related to what is or will actually happen in this book? Why or why not? 4. What decision did the giant tell Piper that she would need to make?
Piper XXII 5. Why did Festus suddenly start falling with Piper, Leo and Jason? 6. Where did they land? 7. On page 243 it states that Leo sounded crestfallen. What does this mean? 8.

LeoXXIII 11. What line of the Great Prophecy kept going around in Leo's head and what does it mean? 12. What message did Earth Mother send to Leo? What do you think was meant about being his First Mother?
Answers: 1. Piper figured that out because she remembered all the times that he yelled at her, made her fight her own battle, run faster, she figured out that he was doing that because he wanted for her to know what life what a demigod was like. 2. Pipers dad never played Native American parts in movies because, it is to close to home for him. So he thinks that it is easier to pretend to be someone hes not. This also means that because the Cherokee tribe had delt with a lot of pain and suffering that was hard to think about for Native American people specifically Cherokee people so he didnt want to think about it. 3. Piper dreamed of the giant Encaleadus who was talking to Piper of her forgeting her duty (betraying her friends for her father) and not doing it yet. The giant told Piper that she should hurry if she wanted to get her father back in one piece. I think her dream is related to what WILL happen because Pipers dad is actually missing (or at least we think he is) so that would be a logical place for him to be. I also think it WILL happen not IS happening because Piper still has time to free him. I also think that it is related because Piper keeps getting this same dream over and over again, so I think it must be true. 4. The giant told Piper that she needed to bring her friends to the place that the giant showed her and that she should plan their deaths or else her dad would die. 5. Festus suddenly started falling because he was malfunctioning, because Leo did not repair him correctly or completely. 6. They landed in an old Auto Factory called MONOCLE MOTORS that the team thinks is in Detroit. 7. Crestfallen means that Leo was discouraged or depressed in what he has to do and his spirit. 8. Deja Vu means that someone has the feeling that they have experienced something before like an event even thought it never really happened. 9. MONOCLE MOTORS is the working logo for all the cyclopses that had to stop making chariots and vehicles because there customers died. 10. The cliffhanger at the end of the chapter was that after Jason went to go see if Leo were alright, Piper herd a few big booms and then after around five minutes she herd loud footsteps walking up the stairs talking exactly like Jason but it really was a cyclopse that had said "your just in time for dinner". 11. The line that keeps going around in Leo's head is, that fire or storm the world will fall. Which means that either Zeus and Hephaestus might fight or Leo and Jason will fight because Jason is the son of Zeus and Leo is the son of Hephaestus. 12. I think she ment that because she was there his whole life that she knows as much as his real mother, so she considers herself like a mother.

What do you think it means? 15. How do you think they will find the storm spirits? 16. What was the big idea of this chapter.
Answers: 1. Leo knew something non-human was in the factory because he smelled a very non-human smell, and he knew it was non-human because of how bad it had smelt and what it smelled like. 2. A cyclopse is a monster that has only one big eye. 3. A chain mail muumuu looks like a dress made up of metal hooks that divers with sharks wear. 4. Venus spawn means to be a daughter so what Ma GAsket meant was that she was her daughter. 5. 1=Ma Gasket is very mean toward her children by calling them idiots, stupid and a discrace. 2=Ma Gasket is ver rough and disciplined with her children, one example is when she smashed a car chasey on Sump's head. 6. I think that kid was one of the Jason's (eighther Jason Grace or midevil Jason). 7. They were shut down because they made chariots and weapons for the war that ended, so there was no point for them to be making things. 8. Leo was unaffected because he is fire resistant so that means that flames or hot things can not hurt him so the kerosine was on fire so he did not get hurt. 9. Leo got rid of Ma Gasket because he shot a fire ball once the time was ready at the weakest ling holding the machinery and it fell and destroyed her. 10. The main idea was Leo freeing his friends by himself from the three mean cyclopses. 11. Hera couldnt escape because the magic that kept Hera in her cage was way too strong for her to break out. 12. He closed Olympus because he thought that other gods were getting associating to much with the mortals so he shut down olympus. 13. Somesort of voice told her to come to a place and then she was attacked and then was put in a cage. 14. The gamble that Hera made was erasing part of Jason's memory and sending him to Camp-Half-Blood. This might mean that she was trying to have him no a few things so he would be curios enough but erased enough so that he would save her, so that ment that she wanted him to save her badly. 15. I think they will find the storm spirits by looking for them once they get more information about were to find them. 16. The big idea of this chapter was about Jason having a dream about Hera and then Leo, Jason and Piper traveling to Chicago to find Hera.

The drawing was this boat that Aelous had gotten after the wind took it when Leo was done drawing it when he was a little kid.

Write a summary for each of the four chapters. Make sure each paragraph has a topic sentence, supporting details and a closing. Paragraphs can be neatly hand-written or typed.
Answers:
Leo XLVII= This Chapter is a lot about Leo trying to find a way to fly. This is about Leo trying to fly a helicopter to the Wolf House, and the rest of the team trying to find it. There is a cliffhanger at the end and it is about the team hitting the storm clouds.
Leo XLVIII= This chapter brings a lot of Leo's memories back and a lot of suprises. This is about the team going into an ice storm and seeing the firefight below. Then a big, dark object came coming at them and the team jumped out. They met up with Thalia and she said that they were surronded, that the monsters keep reforming themselves and that they tried to free Hera but the magic is to strong. Once inside and thinking about how to get Hera out Khione and the rest of the bad wolf pack and a frozen Thalia.
Jason XLIX= This chapter is the story of why Khione is doing what she is doing. Khione was telling them that she wanted to kill them at Borias's palace but not around her father. Khione is the one that made all of the things that happened to the team like freezing Festus's wires, and keeping Enceladus informed about the team. She also told them about how she wants to kill demi-gods and mortals to take over the world.
Jason L= This chapter is a very action filled and heroic chapter. This is about Jason capturing a storm spirit horse whos name is Tempest and killing the storm spirits and wolves, Piper is battling earthborn and Leo is battling Khione. The team kills everyone but the giant who just got up and reformed all of them. Leo was working on opening the cage and Piper trying to get Gaea to fall asleep while Jason distracts the giant. Jason staps the giant and summons lighting hurting the giant. The giant was just about to kill Jason when Leo broke the cage open and Piper yelled "sleep" and all of the reformed monsters fell asleep and Hera got out and yelled "Now I shall have my revenge!" The giant backed away and dissaperead into the ground, but his message was clear "another time." Hera turned into a supernova exploding ring of fire that vapprized every monster. There was a cliff hanger in this chapter that was since Jason didnt close his eyes because he was to distracted, when Hera unleashed her powers he got knocked out and his last thought was that his body was burning.

2. This tells us that Pipers father is famous and that he has dealt with paparazzi and maybe he did not spend time with her.

5. How did Leo catch the dragon?
6. What is a dryad? What did she do?
7. What did Leo have to do to the dragon?
8. Why did Leo name the dragon, "Festus?"
9. In the cave where the dragon lives, it said, "Bunker 9." Why is this important to the story?
10. How was this cave similar to the dream Leo had?
11. What work do you think Leo and Festus have to do?
Answers:
1. Tia-Callida was Leo's babysitter when he was a kid, Tia-Callida is also Hera and we know that because of the things she said and did to Leo when she was babysitting him.
2. Tia-Callida technically killed Leo's and the way she did that was she locked Leo up in the break room and Leo's mom was in her part of the shop, Leo's hands caught fire without him knowing and the warehouse burned down but he did not die since he has a special power. This relates to the book because that’s when Leo lost everything he had and when he found out his powers were this powerful. Another thing that Tia-Callida did was that she kept on saying things related to a god or some kind of a war like "you must learn your blades early, if you are to be my hero someday". The third thing Tia-Callida did was having Leo play with knives (first quote from the 2nd strange thing) and have sleep in the fireplace while it was lit.
3. I think this means that she wants him to remember what kind of power she has because of how she killed his mom, she wants him to remember this because she does not want to be defeated or have her kids killed,
4. At the end of this chapter Leo volunteered to go with Jason on the quest but only if he could transportation to get to where they needed to go so, Leo had and idea he thought he could catch the dragon and fly on the dragon with Jason and the last member of the quest to get to where they need to go. Leo thought he could use the dragon because he thought that the dragon had wings.
5. Leo caught the dragon by using the trap that was set up for the dragon, after the dragon was in the trap Leo climbed onto the dragon’s neck and cleaned the dirty disk drive and dirty wires that were affecting how the dragon acts. After he cleaned the dirty disk and wires he put them back inside the dragon and the dragon was back to normal again and not vicious.
6. A dryad is a spirit of the woods or a tree spirit. The dryad in the story made a gesture that Leo thought meant something bad in Dryad and then she disappeared with a poof of green mist.
7. Leo had to clean the dragon's wiring system and disk drive because it was crazy and affected the way it acted.
8. Leo named the dragon Festus because the dragon was showing off.
9. Bunker 9 is important to the story because of multiple reasons. Reason 1=that it could be related to Cabin 9 where Leo is staying because of the name. Reason 2=Leo found a blueprint that looked a lot like Leo's boat drawing that he drew when he was a kid and it had the dragons head in the front of the boat in the blueprint. Reason 3= Leo thought that the dragon must have been built there because of how fast the dragon wanted to go there and because of the big circular hole that the dragon laid onto.
10. It was similar because of the blueprint that was in the bunker that was very similar to the one that Leo drew when he was a little kid and when he dreamed it was in there to.
11. Some work that I think Leo and Festus have to do is Leo has to attach wings to Festus so that Festus can fly and take Leo, Jason and the last member of the quest to its definition, I think this because throughout the chapter Leo has been saying that he needs to attach wings to Festus and at the end of the chapter he said "Festus, we've got work to do" so I’m thinking he saw wings that were supposed to go onto Festus.

Due Monday, February 14th
1. Describe she-wolf.
2. What does the word "Lupa" mean?
3. What was the connection between Jason and Lupa?
4. On page 159 it states, "The other wolves circled the pool, their fur standing up on their backs as they snarled at the spires." What does it mean when the hair stands on the back of your head? What are spires?
5. What does the last paragraph of this chapter mean? Why is this an important part of this book?
XIV Jason
6. Look for the symbols on page 161 and tell me what they symbolize. I.E. golden eagle, statues, Greek robes...
7. Why did Jason feel that if he could find the ruins, he could find his past?
8. Why did Jason say, "Thanks Pops," to the Zeus statue?
Answers:
1. She-wolf is the greatest wolf of her kind she is taller then Jason and has silver eyes, she-wolf is helping Jason figure out the prophecy but Jason needs to save her to, she-wolf is a female wolf.
2. Lupa means the mother wolf, she is named this because she is the greatest one of her kind.
3. The connection between Jason and Lupa is that she found him, nurtured him, protected him and chosen him when he was little.
4. When the hair stands up on the back of your head it means that you are scared, nervous or adrenaline when something is happening. A spire is tall and it has a pointed part at the end of something.
5. The last paragraph means that he is the only one who can save them and he always was the only one. It also means that Jason is the son of Zeus (Jupiter). This is important to the book because we thought that Zeus had no kids but now we know we do and its Jason, its also important because this means that Jason has had a past before like this (saving and being around the wolves).
6. I think the golden eagle symbolizes Jasons tatto on his arm that probably symbolizes Zeus. The Zeus statue represents how mean and pwerful Zeus was so that everyone respected and was afraid of him. The greek robe represnts that Zeus is greek and not Roman like Jupiter.
7. He thought that because he thought that he had been there before so he thought he could find his past if he knew he was there.
8. Jason said 'Thanks Pops" to the Zeus statue because he recently found out from the she-wolf that Zeus is his father.

1. The "King of Sparta" is a character in a movie and that character is Pipers dad.
2. Lacy is a girl who lives in Cabin 10 who is freaked out by Drew.
3. Charmspeak means that Drew and Piper can convince people to let them do things or give them things.
4. Drew got to be head councelor(spelling) because the old councelor sacrificed herself to benefit the camp, and I think Drew is happy about being head councelor.
5. Drew thought taht (spelling) she was a bad person because she thought that she was stupid not doing what she thought Aphrodite ment and the other campers thought that she was a hero because she sacrificed herself for them/the campers.
6. The right of passage is to get someone to fall in love with you and then brake their heart>
7. The poster was in the garbage because Drew was so annoyed at Piper and so mean that she threw away the poster of Pipers dad.
8. A tryant(spelling) is "a sovereign or other ruler who uses power oppressively or unjustly" ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tyrant)
9. The word festus in latin(spelling) means happy.
10. I think this means that she remembered when Percy Jackson was around because of the quest and she got sad but also kinda happy because she remembered the times she had with him.
11. I think the mist is a symbol of security because in the chapter it says that Jason thinks that the mist will make the mortals think that dragon is a small plane and throughout the story it mentions that the mist will make mortals not see mythiological(spelling) creatures.Is this word "mist" constantly changing as far as what it means or is there some kind of connection between all the times it is mentioned? It is changing every time it is being mentioned so far.
12. Boreas is a guy that Jason, Piper and Leo needed to find to get some information and his name means he is the personification of the north wind.
13. I think this means that because Hera doesnt like demigods that if the team unleashes her she will kill everyone. Hera is upset that she was caught and trapped. Hera is trapped in Chicago by storm spirits.
14. Leo disclose about his mom and how he died to the team.
15. I think that means only special magic will brake the cage that Hera is in.

LeoXXIII
11. What line of the Great Prophecy kept going around in Leo's head and what does it mean?
12. What message did Earth Mother send to Leo? What do you think was meant about being his First Mother?
Answers:
1. Piper figured that out because she remembered all the times that he yelled at her, made her fight her own battle, run faster, she figured out that he was doing that because he wanted for her to know what life what a demigod was like.
2. Pipers dad never played Native American parts in movies because, it is to close to home for him. So he thinks that it is easier to pretend to be someone hes not. This also means that because the Cherokee tribe had delt with a lot of pain and suffering that was hard to think about for Native American people specifically Cherokee people so he didnt want to think about it.
3. Piper dreamed of the giant Encaleadus who was talking to Piper of her forgeting her duty (betraying her friends for her father) and not doing it yet. The giant told Piper that she should hurry if she wanted to get her father back in one piece. I think her dream is related to what WILL happen because Pipers dad is actually missing (or at least we think he is) so that would be a logical place for him to be. I also think it WILL happen not IS happening because Piper still has time to free him. I also think that it is related because Piper keeps getting this same dream over and over again, so I think it must be true.
4. The giant told Piper that she needed to bring her friends to the place that the giant showed her and that she should plan their deaths or else her dad would die.
5. Festus suddenly started falling because he was malfunctioning, because Leo did not repair him correctly or completely.
6. They landed in an old Auto Factory called MONOCLE MOTORS that the team thinks is in Detroit.
7. Crestfallen means that Leo was discouraged or depressed in what he has to do and his spirit.
8. Deja Vu means that someone has the feeling that they have experienced something before like an event even thought it never really happened.
9. MONOCLE MOTORS is the working logo for all the cyclopses that had to stop making chariots and vehicles because there customers died.
10. The cliffhanger at the end of the chapter was that after Jason went to go see if Leo were alright, Piper herd a few big booms and then after around five minutes she herd loud footsteps walking up the stairs talking exactly like Jason but it really was a cyclopse that had said "your just in time for dinner".
11. The line that keeps going around in Leo's head is, that fire or storm the world will fall. Which means that either Zeus and Hephaestus might fight or Leo and Jason will fight because Jason is the son of Zeus and Leo is the son of Hephaestus.

14. What was the dangerous gamble that Hera made? What do you think it means?
15. How do you think they will find the storm spirits?
16. What was the big idea of this chapter.
Answers:
1. Leo knew something non-human was in the factory because he smelled a very non-human smell, and he knew it was non-human because of how bad it had smelt and what it smelled like.
2. A cyclopse is a monster that has only one big eye.
3. A chain mail muumuu looks like a dress made up of metal hooks that divers with sharks wear.
4. Venus spawn means to be a daughter so what Ma GAsket meant was that she was her daughter.
5. 1=Ma Gasket is very mean toward her children by calling them idiots, stupid and a discrace. 2=Ma Gasket is ver rough and disciplined with her children, one example is when she smashed a car chasey on Sump's head.
6. I think that kid was one of the Jason's (eighther Jason Grace or midevil Jason).
7. They were shut down because they made chariots and weapons for the war that ended, so there was no point for them to be making things.
8. Leo was unaffected because he is fire resistant so that means that flames or hot things can not hurt him so the kerosine was on fire so he did not get hurt.
9. Leo got rid of Ma Gasket because he shot a fire ball once the time was ready at the weakest ling holding the machinery and it fell and destroyed her.
10. The main idea was Leo freeing his friends by himself from the three mean cyclopses.
11. Hera couldnt escape because the magic that kept Hera in her cage was way too strong for her to break out.
12. He closed Olympus because he thought that other gods were getting associating to much with the mortals so he shut down olympus.
13. Somesort of voice told her to come to a place and then she was attacked and then was put in a cage.
14. The gamble that Hera made was erasing part of Jason's memory and sending him to Camp-Half-Blood. This might mean that she was trying to have him no a few things so he would be curios enough but erased enough so that he would save her, so that ment that she wanted him to save her badly.
15. I think they will find the storm spirits by looking for them once they get more information about were to find them.
16. The big idea of this chapter was about Jason having a dream about Hera and then Leo, Jason and Piper traveling to Chicago to find Hera.

Due Tuesday, March 22nd
Write a summary for each of the four chapters. Make sure each paragraph has a topic sentence, supporting details and a closing. Paragraphs can be neatly hand-written or typed.
Answers:
Leo XLVII= This Chapter is a lot about Leo trying to find a way to fly. This is about Leo trying to fly a helicopter to the Wolf House, and the rest of the team trying to find it. There is a cliffhanger at the end and it is about the team hitting the storm clouds.
Leo XLVIII= This chapter brings a lot of Leo's memories back and a lot of suprises. This is about the team going into an ice storm and seeing the firefight below. Then a big, dark object came coming at them and the team jumped out. They met up with Thalia and she said that they were surronded, that the monsters keep reforming themselves and that they tried to free Hera but the magic is to strong. Once inside and thinking about how to get Hera out Khione and the rest of the bad wolf pack and a frozen Thalia.
Jason XLIX= This chapter is the story of why Khione is doing what she is doing. Khione was telling them that she wanted to kill them at Borias's palace but not around her father. Khione is the one that made all of the things that happened to the team like freezing Festus's wires, and keeping Enceladus informed about the team. She also told them about how she wants to kill demi-gods and mortals to take over the world.
Jason L= This chapter is a very action filled and heroic chapter. This is about Jason capturing a storm spirit horse whos name is Tempest and killing the storm spirits and wolves, Piper is battling earthborn and Leo is battling Khione. The team kills everyone but the giant who just got up and reformed all of them. Leo was working on opening the cage and Piper trying to get Gaea to fall asleep while Jason distracts the giant. Jason staps the giant and summons lighting hurting the giant. The giant was just about to kill Jason when Leo broke the cage open and Piper yelled "sleep" and all of the reformed monsters fell asleep and Hera got out and yelled "Now I shall have my revenge!" The giant backed away and dissaperead into the ground, but his message was clear "another time." Hera turned into a supernova exploding ring of fire that vapprized every monster. There was a cliff hanger in this chapter that was since Jason didnt close his eyes because he was to distracted, when Hera unleashed her powers he got knocked out and his last thought was that his body was burning.
